You won't find many recommendations to perform brick-level backups here. At least not from competent Exchange Admins. Do a full online backup, implement deleted items retention and deleted mailbox retention and go eat some cookies.
As for your comment about Arkanserve crashing, well I'll be! I NEVER had a problem with it when I used it (grin). Truthfully, Argghhhhserver is the biggest piece of crap software that I have ever come across. It doesn't surprise me that brick-backups/restores fail using it. I couldn't even get a good restore from an ONLINE backup using it.

I have gave up on Arcserve as it crashes to many times on critical restores. Any advice welcome.
